How can I get our Orbi RBK75 to send messages via its Ethernet ports?
We have some Ethernet-only gadgets, which worked with our old Apple Airport router (plus an old, Netgear Ethernet router), but don't work with our new Orbi RBK75 (with or without the Ethernet router)...
When Orbi systems leave the factory, Netgear assigns a WiFi name (SSID) to each system that consists of the letters "ORBI" plus a two digit number. This is so customers can unbox the thing, plug it in, and use it without configuring anything at all. They seem to hoping that no two neighbors will purchase systems with the identical WiFi names. (other manufacturers do similar things)
It would help to know the product number from the label on the bottom of the router.
Also, what sort of device needs to be connected?
p.s. Netgear provides 90 days of 'complimentary support' with a new purchase. After creating a Netgear account and registering the system, there is a link on this page to Contact Support: www.netgear.com/support
Those of us who saw our 90 days expire years ago are jealous of you guys who can actually call Netgear.
